Who We Are

Middlesex County Department of Social Services offers the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program.  TANF provides eligible families with a monthly cash payment to meet their basic needs if the family is responsible for the care of a minor child. 

The TANF program initiative has time to limited benefits, a strong work requirement, and a social contract that sets out the responsibilities of and expectations for recipients of public assistance and the government.

CommonHelp is the Commonwealth of Virginia’s fast and easy way to apply online for many Virginia social services assistance programs. Through a single online site, you can find out what assistance you might be eligible for and submit one application saving you time and effort.
